Info

The FOSDEM 2010 keysigning party is now taking place outside. If you were
in room Ferrer on time, you would have been able to read the master hashes from the projector. If not, find them on https://fosdem.org/2010/keysigning.

As every year, there will be a FOSDEM beer event on Friday night before FOSDEM (February 5th 2010).
As in 2009, this year's event will take place at the Delirium Café, in a beautiful alley near the Grand'Place in Brussels. In addition to the enormous variety in beers, the location also has enough room to accommodate the vast crowd of geeks we tend to be.

Delirium Security will help us keep this area FOSDEM-only. If you meet a guard at the entrance to the bar, make it clear to him that you are there for the FOSDEM party. This is done by giving the code FOSDEM3 to the security, also printing this page can come in handy.

With six days to go before the key submission deadline, 128 keys have been received by the keyserver. While this is a nice round number, surely we can do better than that. There is still time to submit your key to take part in the keysigning. Why wait? Do it now.

Please remember that the submission deadline is Monday 1 February 2010.

If you are coming to FOSDEM, spead the word with the usual image on your blog...<a href="http://www.fosdem.org"><img src="http://www.fosdem.org/promo/going-to" alt="I'm going to FOSDEM, the Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting" /></a>

Web of Trust

PGP public key and CAcert certificate identification are based on multiple
(the more the better) people doing an identification check against official
identity documents such as driving permits, passports, national identity
cards, etc.: the Web of Trustworthy. The Web of Trust is a reciprocal
process: people identify themselves to each other.

The "keysigning party" is essential to strengthen the Web of Trust and keep
the security technique open and freely available.

Like previous years, there will be a PGP key signing and CAcert assurance
party at FOSDEM 2010.
